Stupid Questions/Comments

[innocentinfidel]

The only thing that really bugs me is when people mispronounce Hawaiian names, deny the events of the overthrow and claim that we wanted to become part of the US, and stereotype Hawaiian people. twisted

Tourist:Only girls dance hula right?
me: No men do too
Tourist: Oh well I don't think men should hula
Me: *resist the urge to use ancient Lua techniques*
Yes I do know how to do little bit lua as well as spear throwing so don't mess with me.

Okay, so this is me trying to have a conversation on a thread.

Person: Oh, I live in Canada.
Me: I live in Hawaii?
Person: Do you dance hula?
Me: Yeah, actually.
Random Guy: Hula girls are hot.
Me: Must. Resist. Urge. To. Kill. Retarded. Idiot.

I hate that so much.

just because i say im from hawaii, people immediately ask if i'm hawaiian. haha.

what my friends and i like to do when we fly to the mainland...we dress very local kine and when we get to escalators we point and gasp..."look! moving stairs!!!!!!!"
haha  

[vh222]

At least they "ask" if you're Hawaiian. When I tell people I'm from Hawaii they assume I'm Hawaiian. I guess I look it a little. Sort of. I always have to tell them I don't have an ounce of Hawaiian in me.

I dislike when people pronounce Hawaiian words, I mean, they are TOTALLY off. For example, Ukulele.

Oh, I found someone on another site that said that Hawaii wanted to become part of the the US and I was like, talk2hand Yeah right, in my mead of course.

Person: So do you, like, wear grass skirts and stuff? Like traditional Hawaiians?

Hawaiian: stressed NO. You know what? I wear jeans, like a normal person. And you know what else?! The real Hawaiians didn't wear grass skirts! The men wore loin cloth and the women wore skirts and no tops!!! >.<

Person: ... was it a grass skirt?

Hawaiian: o_e ...no... *...must...resist...urge to...beat...up...*

HA! I've been asked this question many times during my years in California. It never ceased to amaze me at how naive some people could be. I would just tell them "Yes, we wore grass skirts everywhere and we also lived in little grass huts down by the beach" neutral

I lived in Hawaii when I was younger but then moved to the mainland when I was in second grade. At my new school my teacher made me go to the front of the class and let my second grade peers ask me questions for ten mintues here are some of their questions:
them biggrin id you live on a beach?
me:No I lived in a house.
them:They have houses in Hawaii?
me:yeah they're just like any other state.
them biggrin id you have to learn to speak English?
me biggrin oesn't everyone?
them biggrin id you wear grass skirts?
me:No
them biggrin oes everyone have the same accent?
me:what accent?
and so on and so forth. Ten minutes of hell and I was a brand new student and new to that area. -_- And I still get questions like those.
I also get a lot of crap for not liking coconuts.
them:Isn't that hypocritical since you're Hawaiian?
me:You're a jack a**.
But my favorite question of all time was when my driving instructor said
him:Hey Hawaii
me:Yes?
him:Why are you taking drivers ed?
me:So I can drive
him:Why? Don't you people just surf from island to island?
me:*mutters to self* I hate my life. stare

*side note.

My name is Ekena so every year at the beginning of school EVERY single teacher that I've had has pronounced my name as EEE KEE NNUUHHH!
Adding that to the horrific way they slaughtered my last name and that makes for a very embarrassing graduation. -_- Even though I rehearsed my name with the announcer (who I had for a year) five minutes before commencement started. Got to love people for giving it an effort right? stare

A conversation with someone while I was playing World of Warcraft.

Aussie : I live on Austrailia of course, you?
Me : Oh I live on Hawaii.
Aussie : What? People live there?
Me : Uhh, apparently. I'm here.
Aussie : Oh really? I thought it was uninhabited and that people just flew there to surf.
Me : I assure you people live here.
Aussie : Wow that's amazing. Do you guys have cities there?
Me : A lot of people live here so we have many cities.
Aussie : How big are your cities? Like NY big?
Me : No not that big. I mean we live on a little island.
Aussie : Do you live in grass huts?
Me : No we live in modern day houses.
Aussie : So how are you getting internet?
Me : Uhh, yeah we have internet here because of providers such as Time Warner Cable.
Aussie : Wow. I thought Hawaii would be like some third world country.
